PS, the only soldiers I am thankful for are the ones who, in 1812, made certain that I would not be born an American.

Ha ha... :-) How many Americans even know that Canadians burnt the White House to the ground in 1812? Good call. :-)
I didn't know we burnt the White House in 1812; I always thought that

Aha! and here was me thinking that History was only a passing fad since it seems not to be taught in US schools any longer. Of course it would be crude of me to remind you that Andy Jackson et. al. whipped your butts ;-) - - j registered linux user #363029 Mornings: Evolution in action. Only the grumpy will survive.

Oh, and it was the only major land battle the USA won, unless you include the British failure to capture Fort Henry -- both times the US tried to invade Canada, however, it lost. ;)

Yeah, 'cause we finally figured out that we had enough maple syrup in Vermont, so were not all that motivated. -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd Rather Be Sailing"
